I can't wait to see him. In fact, I dreamed about the concert last night. I was with a teenager who in the dream was a niece or someone I was responsible for. Fifteen minutes before the show started she needed to run to a pharmacy to get a prescription filled. Chaos, drama, chase scenes ensued, and we missed the first three songs. I kept screaming at her, "We're going to miss him walking out onstage!! And the audience going crazy!!" And then as we're running back to the arena I hear the thunderous applause and the opening notes of "Let's Go Crazy" and I am nearly hysterical. What a freaking concert nightmare.

There is no opener, and he goes on at 8 or a little later and plays for about 3 hours or more (if you're lucky).

Security was adamant about not bringing in cameras, saying it was by Prince's request, but most people managed to get them in. The weird thing is at one point he asked everyone to get their phones out, like U2 did during Moment of Surrender. Why be so strict about phones in the first place?

Bring comfy shoes and clothes, as you will be dancing all night long. I can't overstate it enough: the entire arena was turned into a massive party, with everyone singing and dancing. What an amazing show.

For the forum there was an opener at some shows. 8 is not when it will start. It starts whenever Prince feels like it. You will need to sneak in the camera. Oh and don't try to post videos. I nearly got my YouTube account suspended for posting some.
